Equipment

Ingredients

4 slices multigrain bread or any bread of choice
1 cup Parmesan cheese or vegan cheese
½ tsp. Pepper
½ tsp. Italian seasoning
½ tsp. garlic chopped
2 green chillies chopped fine
½ cup green peppers or capsicum chopped
½ onion chopped fine
1 tsp. butter or vegan butter optional

Instructions

Take slices of wholewheat or multigrain bread.
In a bowl mix together grated cheese/vegan cheese, pepper, Italian seasoning, chopped garlic, chopped green chillies or jalapeños, finely chopped green pepper and onion.
Place enough of this cheesy mixture on the slice of bread and keep aside.
Repeat for all slices except if doing on stove top.

On Stove top

Heat a cast iron pan or tawa.
Lightly brush one side of bread slice with butter/vegan butter and toast lightly on medium heat.
Once done, flip it and then put the cheesy mixture on the slice of bread.
Cover with a transparent lid.
Cook on low-medium flame till the cheese melts.
Don’t cook on medium flame or for too long else your bread slice may get charred.
Now remove and serve hot.

In Air fryer

Preheat air fryer at 180 C or 350F for 4 minutes.
Now place the slices with cheesy mixture on top in the air fryer basket.
I could fit 3 slices at one go.
Close the air fryer and air fry for about 4-6 minutes at 350F or 180C till the cheese has melted and browned and the bread is toasted.
Remove them and serve hot.

In oven

You can also bake these toast in oven.
In a preheated oven at 350F or 180C place slices with cheesy mixture on top.
Bake for about 10-12 minutes till the cheese melts and the bread is toasty. Enjoy.

Notes

1. You can use any bread of choice. Even artisan ones are good.
2. You can’t reduce the cheese here. Parmesan tastes the best but processed as well as vegan cheese works well too.
3. I feel that just green peppers and onion work well. But sliced mushroom taste good too.
This recipe is perfect as an appetiser or evening snack.
4. This does not store well and should preferably be had hot off the stove. You can reheat in air fryer for 2-3 minutes at 350F or 180C if you have leftovers.
5. Since cheese is already salty, I did not need extra salt.
